The rename pattern textbox is not tall enough, so I don't see underscores: http://i.imgur.com/9rvwTJ9.png Can you guess with set of double-quotes has the underscore? Also the colors are hard-coded, so it's hard to see that blue color. Reproducible: Always
This has not been touched in 4.2.0.
Still present in 4.4.0
Created attachment 89246 [details] Rename pattern textbox. Theme related? Underscores visible here... using Version 4.4.0
I tried the following and it made no difference: - digiKam > Settings > Theme - System Settings > Workspace Appearance > Window Decorations - System Settings > Workspace Appearance > Desktop Theme - System Settings > Application Appearance > Style > Widget style - System Settings > Application Appearance > Style > Colors Changing the font - System Settings > Application Appearance > Style > Fonts > General has an influence. When I use DejaVu Sans, Droid Sans or Ubuntu Sans then I don't see the underscores, when I use some other whacky font then I do. Either way, ALL other applications work fine using any of these fonts, so this issue must be resolved within this rename dialog, at least by adding bottom padding. http://i.imgur.com/Ew8okvJ.png
Paul, it's easy to verify. Go to digiKam/Configuration dialog into Misc Section, and change widget style. Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 89250 [details] Rename pattern textbox - Oxygen widgets Changing the widget style that digiKam uses to Oxygen (from qtcurve I normally use) results in the text box becoming too small vertically, as DrSlony reported.
Still present in 4.5.0. Also a problem elsewhere, e.g. in the "customize filename" textbox in the BQM http://i.imgur.com/zgNJJzL.png "[file] _ underscores here _ _ _"
Still a problem in 4.6.0.
I tried the following widget styles: Oxygen, Phase, Windows, Motif, CDE, Plastique and Cleanlooks. Cleanlooks is the only one where I could see the underscores.
Created attachment 90196 [details] renameinput.patch This patch fixes the incorrect size of the rename input and change the blue color in light blue. I tested it with different fonts / sizes and different styles.
